Unfair Record Review Request

[TL]

I've tried to like Tom Waits before.

Tom Waits just needs an editor.  He's one of these guys that has some good songs, some bad, and he can't seem to tell the difference.  Stephin Merritt is the same way. But Rain Dogs is one of my favorite albums. 

Tom S. has said that he likes Radiohead, who are the worst band ever.  Except when they invented electronic music.  Them and Bjork.

Robert Pollard needs an editor, Tom Waits needs a new singer and some decent clothes.

Your Radiohead comments elude me.

Tom Waits also needs some face cream. 

Spot on about Robert Pollard.  I am always suspicious of the quality control of the overly prolific.

My particular animus against Radiohead is in part caused by the fact that nearly every person on the Internet loves them.  Meanwhile, their music is boring and unoriginal.  Remember when Perry Farrell released a drum and bass album?  Radiohead are a slightly more successful version of that.

Pretty much everybody in reality likes Radiohead. It's not like they're the Ron Paul of current music. Listen to OK Computer or Amnesiac a little more closely and tell me it's unoriginal.

I've listened to every Radiohead album relatively closely, including the new one.  They're just awful.  Boring, indie prog rock with uninteresting IDM touches.

At least Bjork just went and *hired* people from the electronic music world to create her albums for her.  Radiohead just copies.  No that there's anything wrong with copying.  But it's just that they're not particularly good at it.  Their music is so lifeless sounding.

Unlike Perry Farrell's flirtation with drum and bass, choosing to copy sounds from Aphex Twin and so on at least exhibits better taste in music.  What I hear in Radiohead is not good music, but the result of a good music collection.

Yeah, Radiohead's real proggy, the way they don't even have a song over five and a half minutes long and everything is verse-chorus-verse. Why do you keep bringing up Bjork and Perry Farrell? neither of them sound like eachother or Radiohead at all.

Feud over on my end, ok?

When you end up having a quote within a quote within a quote within a quote within a quote within a quote above what you write, it kind of defeats the purpose of the "quote" feature.  You may as well just type a reply and take it on faith that a truly invested reader will read all or most of the posts that precede your posts.

That's my 2 cents on this issue.

Do what now?

Ditto!

I think the idea is just to take the parts from above that you're directly referencing and leave the rest of the thread out of the quoted section.  Like this:

Right?

 Dude, it's like you dared me to quote that.

I disagree with some points, agree with others.

I'm neutral on this matter, but, as you can see, I am pro-quoting.

It's kind of beautiful, in a way.

Eh. Beauty is overrated.

I see your point, but I also see other points too.

Actually, when you scroll down quickly it looks really cool.

But not too quickly.  More like mid-speed.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The sidelinescome out at you. Not to get all mushy, but we all built that together.

The quotes boxes are starting to look like something I saw at the Abstract Expressionism exhibit at the Met.

All right, gang. This is no time to get lazy. Do we want to bring this to an end or do we want the FOT on the horn with Guinness?

Yeah, I...  wait...  I forgot what i was gonna say...

Oh yeah - that's right - i remember!

Ha!  Silly me!  Now I forgot to actually type it in!  Ha ha ha!   
I was gonna say that Guiness or no Guiness, I'm just happy to have been able to participate!

No, I meant Guinness sponsoring Barney because of his use of the Harp symbology (which I know is actually significant to the Irish and not a trademark, so don't get mad at me, black men of Britain).

[TL]

Very astute in terms of corporate hierarchy, as well - they're both (Guinness and Harp, that is) owned by the same mega-alcohol company, DIAGEO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diageo.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

And I have a vague memory that the company is owned by a very right-wing Irish Protestant with close ties to the Tories, or at least it was - maybe The Baffler wrote about it in the 90s?

I do sometimes like Guinness, though.

In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if Barney was referencing the beer trademark and not the Irish national musical instrument - product placement would seem right at home in his work.

Absolutely.
I can't drink Guinness ('cause it ain't v-e-g-a-n), but DIAGEO also own Bushmills, which has been notorious over the past couple of... centuries (?) for not hiring C-a-t-h-o-l-i-c workers.  That's why I roll Jamesons style.
I once walked up to a bar that's not there anymore in Boston and ordered a Jamesons.  A group of Irish guys in flat caps and cable knits (seriously!) approached me and said, "Eh - whatchye gawt dehr?  Bushmills?"  I said, "Fuck no!  Jamesons!"  They looked at each other with steely and pointed eyes and replied, "Oh yeh?  Good man, good man - we'll be singin' some o' the auld songs later on - ye should stick aroound."  I gave them a "Cheers!" and politely excused meself out the door (and ran down the street)...

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

That's no good.  No more Bushmills for me, not like I was drinking it a lot anyway.  What animal products are in Guinness?  The wife and I are thinking of going veggie, which is a big step for us.

This is not a very good story: Danny Manley, my old college roommate and current frequent collaborator and maybe just maybe part of (never mind I'm not going to talk about it) looks like he just stepped off the boat, even though he's a Jersey guy all the way.  He showed up at my wedding in Indiana 6 hours late, sleep-deprived, and completely wired on Red Bull (he drove all night and got lost; the best quote of the whole wedding was his: "I wept in a gas station men's room, but I was so caffed-up that I could only shed a single tear").  My wife's uncle, the retired judge who married us, had just gotten back from a couple of weeks in Ireland.  He was pretty loaded by then, and kept talking to Danny in a bad Irish accent.  Danny kept trying to explain that he was from Bergen County, but Uncle Chad was hearing none of it - but then Chad broke into a series of old Irish ballads and Danny started sung along, knowing every single word by heart.  It actually looked involuntary, like a Pavlovian response.

[TL]

Guinness, like a lot of beers, uses isinglass, a substance derived from fish bladders, in the clarification process. 
Sometimes I will admit to following a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to wine and beer, but if you're interested, here's a partial list of "safe" brands:  http://www.veganconnection.com/veganbeer.htm
